We used to have a chat board here on Bariatric Pal. Many of us used to participate, but Alex got rid of it because he didn't see it was being used to his expectations...suggest to send a note to Alex and ask for it to be restored.
I can relate to what you're feeling. I was sleeved in September and I am now only 11 pounds from my target, but anxious to keep the momentum.

Can I be friends?

Lol I'm just messing with you hello my name is Emma I got banded years ago and it never worked for me I'm not in the process of getting a revision to gastric bypass I have to lose 40 pounds and I'm at 16 down and I feel like I have stalled and it's so depressing how are you doing in your journey

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I'm not looking to date but rather a nice "pen pal." Is that even what they are called anymore LOL. I'm looking for male or female friends that I can relate to during my weight loss journey. I was sleeved in May 2014. Almost at goal and feeling somewhat lonely as I don't have anyone in my circle of friends to communicate with. Not looking for a weirdo or someone to get a bunch of emojis from. Just some good and fun conversation. If you're interested in a "buddy" to have good,conversation I am too.

Hey

Hello Ladies! hahaha

Single

Single

Any single ladies on here? I'm looking for someone to talk with and see what could develop. Either an awesome friendship or maybe more doesn't matter, just looking for a cool woman to get to know.

Speaking for the men....if you women dumped us everytime we said or did something stupid or insensitive, you wouldn't have a man around very often. We need your understanding and forgiveness, and you need to give it or you will be lonely and frustrated looking for Mr. Perfect.....cause he's gay.
Now of course, there is a huge difference between just being a knucklehead...and being a jerk. If he's a jerk, you don't need him.

I think he was just saying like a man would, take it for a grain of salt. You were the big girl and if it was correct to call you this or not; men don't think like woman do. If he is younger, say under 30, give him a break, he hasn't been trained yet!! He clearly likes you, see where it goes, maybe you will be the one to set him straight; if not for you then the next gal.

Totally agree with Afrodite82!!

Really this is even a question in your head?? He is to drunk to know what he said and sent. You are hot now you were hot before you are smart now and then O and you can do better Shop around men are like shoes you can always get a new one Don't ever forget that you have to be happy in every way if your not happy no one your with will be. Now get out there and try on some shoes make them work for it

Hmm. Well, with all due respect, none of us are here on this site because we aren't (or weren't) "big girls". Was it indelicate of him to use the term to describe you? Sure. But is it truthful?
People typically use the first or most distinguishing physical characteristic to describe a person to someone else, ie. I'm often "the black chick" or "the black Rebecca"; other people are "the blonde guy", "that nerdy girl", "the bald guy". Is any of that PC? Nope, but, it happens. The thing I note here is that they both agreed that you are attractive. Even more so now that you are slimming down. Further, like you pointed out yourself, he pursued you. Something to ponder. Now, however, I fully agree with the person who posted above that he ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer if he sent you a video wherein he was insulting you (inadvertently or not). So if you aren't feeling him anyway, then just take it in stride and keep in mind that Marilyn Monroe quote "if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best!" Take care.

What a dumb dude! Sending you a video with comments like that could be hurtful.
Honey, confident you were beautiful at your highest weight and are even more lovely now. So what? Don't let some drunk guy disappoint you.

Your beautiful....don't waste your time on him!

You go girl!

Yeah I'm not too sure about this guy. He's not bright enough to realize he sent you the video with him talking about you in the background.

A guy I met pre surgery sent me a video of a concert. In the background he was telling his friend about me who I had also met. While describing me he called me "that big girl Kelly". His friend responded with oh yea she's really pretty! He said "she's lost over 50lbs she looks even better now". He doesn't even know I heard this Convo because be was so drunk on the video...
I think I'm offended by the "big girl" comment. But at the same time he's the one who asked me for my number and took me out and asked me out numerous times after (which I now know why my instinct told me no way). If he's the one who asked me out numerous times how much could 50lbs really have bothered him?
Needles to say I feel he's not in that great of shape to be referring to anyone as 'that big girl' lol

Lol. I thought that was odd ... But interesting lol

No, I haven't found one yet I will let you know if I do. haha

Is that real??

HaHa I totally tried that web site before. It is pretty bad! LOL

I'd do it! Much better than Piece of Crap... I mean, Plenty of Fish... lol j/k
